Antique RPM Indicator and Demagnetizer

[@johnkelley9877]

What a great way to start off the new year! The RPM restoration and demagnetizer were very interesting. Thanks to you and Dan for a fascinating tutorial.

[@toolscarriagesmodellbauand7246]

The RPM Indicator is a great tool from the past. What a wonderful craftsmanship.And the demagnitizer, too. Thanks John for showing us.

[@davidhelmuth6654]

That must be where the saying “Dan the man” comes from!🤔

[@805ROADKING]

That was a fun Episode Mate!! Way to start off the New Year!!☻

[@RestorationbyAlabamaCreeks]

“Bob’s your uncle!” Thank you Dan. Great educational tools that have timeless beauty.

[@williamkroth9429]

One of your best videos...very interesting.

[@madamecampsalot6384]

WOW!!! So cool and interesting. 2 beautiful and unique antiques. Thanks for all that you share. Happy 1st 2024 and beyond. Just awesome.

[@rawbacon]

I can't believe how Cool that Demagnetizer is and I can't believe what Fantastic condition the wood is in. ⚡🔌⚡

[@Dardrum]

What a great way to start 2024. both tools are simply beautiful. Thanks to Dan and John both.

[@ToolsandTime]

Happy 2024 Scoutcrafter! Thanks for showing us those goodies. That opening line about Dan: "He's forgotten more about tools than i'll ever know." That speaks volumes coming from you--what a cool guy to know!

[@hdrider2071]

I absolutely learn the coolest stuff watching you ! Thanks for sharing all the cool old tools and gadgets!

[@michaellindsay8934]

What a great show very interesting to see how an old demagnetizer worked. I've used industrial ones but they don't have the fun of exposed wires.

[@danieldumaine6139]

Another great video. Seeing how to deal with stuck parts is very helpful. Amazing how some old tools have survived the passage of time. That stuck screw would have been a good test for vampliers.

[@ianjones7394]

The demagnetiser is great, especially as it's so old. It can be so useful to have screwdrivers that are magnetic but occasionally it can be a pain. To be able to change so easily is fantastic. Wishing you all the very best for 2024.

[@Uwannawatch]

Happy New Year John! I could tell you were genuinely excited to magnetize and demagnetize that screw driver😁 Thanks to Dan for sending it over.

[@andyc972]

Thanks to both you John, and to Dan for an excellent and instructive first video of the new year ! Excellent work on the RPM indicator, it's always a concern when you know something is not easily replaceable, but you did Dan proud, must have been hard not to polish up that brass and remove the pitts though ! I wouldn't have believed that the (de)magnetiser would have worked so well, If you'd put this out on 1st April nobody would have believed you !

[@patjohnson3100]

Very interesting tools. Nice of you to take the holiday time off to put out this interesting video. It gets the new year off to a good start.

[@BudBush]

What wonderful items to start off 2024 with. I love the way they constructed tools back then; rosewood and brass for a magnetizer/demagnetizer! No wonder they lasted so long. Your enthusiasm for how they worked always makes your shows. Thanks for 17 minutes of fun. Happy New Year John.

[@wyattoneable]

That's a interesting rpm tool but that demagnetizer was pretty cool. Plus I've never seen one before so you made my day, thanks.

[@bigvicsworkshop]

How cool is that vintage rpm indicator! More Awesome than my Tide tonight...smh.... but ya can't win them all... and failure is the greatest teacher....i should know...ive learnt alot in this life..lol... and that magic magnetizing-DE-magnerizing machine is a beauty!! HYN Sir!

[@RobertBosworth]

Happy New Year. That demagnatizer was amazing. I never knew AC and DC current made a difference. It cleaned up nicely, too. Would look nice displayed in a living room.

[@josephwatts925]

Finally, you demagnetized that Phillips screwdriver. Now I can get some sleep tonight. What a cool gadget. Great show ScoutCrafter! Thank you and have a great New Year.

[@johnfix1]

Not this episode was a lot of fun. Seeing those old tools restored and operating just like new was very interesting. Today they would be made of plastic and only good for a few uses.

[@frankg3072]

Very interesting video today - how things used to work years ago as compared to today’s technology. Thanks for sharing

[@negotiableaffections]

If you need solderless pins for the demagnetizer's contacts you could always turn a pair on your lathe.

[@57WillysCJ]

Those demagnitizing units are fun. We had one in the tool room that had been there for a long time. It was big. One like it today is between 15-25k. We really didn't use it that much.

[@bigpete4227]

I must admit, that was pretty cool.

[@gordon7005]

Loved the first video of 2024 That demangnatiser looks great fun. Happy New year to you Scoutcrafter and all your viewers

[@WeekendShedHead]

Happy new year John.. Hope 2024 is a fantastic one for you and yours. De/Magnetiser.. how cool is that 🤩. Hours of Great fun . Cheers Rob

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Rob! Happy new year!!!

[@larrynelson734]

Hi John. What a great way to start off the new year. Your talent is so eminence. Just love that rpm gage. Demagntiser is really cool. Have a great day. 👍👍👍❤..

[@pecarns]

I would recommend a right angle spark plug boot for the wire attachments. Happy New Year John!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Fantastic idea!

[@GuntersGarage]

Some good stuff this episode! Thats really interesting the magnetizer how it can go both ways ac & dc to magnetize and demagnetize.

[@wallyarent6548]

Happy New Year John Really great video We had a mag/demagnetization tool at starter/alternator shop we used for magnetos.

[@westhighlandsshop]

Wow, what cool items to start the year off with! Happy New Year. This was like watching a kid open presents on Christmas, the excitement in your voice was genuine! I could see you playing with the demagnetizer for hours, I know I would have! Great job on the handheld tach, awesome tool!

[@enverhoxha4531]

Happy New Year guys

[@357magdad]

Great episode! Happy New Year!

[@Reggyontheroad]

Gotcha…happy new year

[@Kirt-Davis]

Happy new year! If you look at a lot of drive shafts, they have a dimple on the end so you can use the rpm gauge.... Get the machinery timed to the correct speed.

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

Happy New YearJohn, love the episode, I always love when you show us things from the past and how they work! Hope Pipes is getting along better,and see you on Wednesday!

[@lotsabirds]

Happy 2024, John! Great job on that gizmo!

[@brianlittle3452]

Happy New Years. There are many magnetizer/demagnetizers on the market. To demagnetize, put the tool inside the magnetizer hole and hold the on button - then slowly remove object. To magnetize, hold the tool inside the magnetizer hole and quick press and release the on button. Amazon has many choices of magnetizer/demagnetizers. I bought one from Flinn Scientific which is more expensive but seems better built. The Flinn unit has two holes but works the same. Whatever your buy - they should be safer without exposed 100 VAC terminals.

[@steph2211]

Thank you Dan and Scout for sharing theses great tools. Je te souhaite une Bonne et heureuse année. 👍👍

[@philcappellini2820]

Very interesting tools and amazing technology on the demagnnetizer......for 1902😀. Thanks for the great video!!

[@BrianRust89]

Super cool! Never seen a de-magnetizer before! Thanks for the video!!

[@sophiesharp1709]

Happy New Year from England !

[@lotsatrains]

Great demagnetizer tool 👍 I have a modern one and know what you mean about the vibrations it produces and kind of scares me to use it 😂

[@adiazcroce]

Thank you, I like very much your videos!

[@stevenwitt4028]

Great Video 👍This was a cool interesting show and tell. That screw looked like it was going to be trouble in that vintage RPM indicator. I am glad you got it out and replaced it so we could see how that cool vintage tool works, Awesome Job! 👍. That vintage Demagnetizer was also cool to see . Great information and demonstration on how it works. Great to see vintage tools that were made over a hundred years ago still works like it did when it was made then. Again thanks for showing us these vintage tools and how they were meant to be used. This was a Fantastic Cool video for the New Year ! 👍 Great to see Old Glory 🇺🇸 flying in the breeze with that Beautiful night sky 🌌. Well again great video and Happy New Year ! 🥳🎉🎆and can’t wait to see what you do on Wednesday. Have a great evening. 😃👍👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

Steven! 😃👍

[@terrysanders2817]

Well presented!

[@joemoach832]

Happy New Year Scoutcrafter! Glad to see that you were able to start off the year with no bang (electrically speaking). Those are two very interesting vintage gadgets. Looking forward to another great year of videos.

[@billmccabe9601]

A great start for a Happy New Year!

[@tigerplatz]

Happy New Year John, and thank you for your videos through the year, really great and very interesting.

[@timeflysintheshop]

Both super cool items! Old technology is the best technology! Great first video of the New Year! Since you don't eat meat, you can't have pork and sauerkraut for new years. What do you eat that is special for New Years? Do you have a substitute for pork and sauerkraut? 🤔🤔🤔

[@ScoutCrafter]

Our traditional New Year’s Day dish was always Lentils! 😃👍

[@MrJruta]

Happy new year SC 🇺🇸

[@beerdrinker6452]

Very educational. What kind of maniac does not like to demagnetize on New Years Day. Thank you.

[@kathieharine5982]

Great, the dog is back!

[@nescobaraloplop9468]

What a great pair of instruments. Thanks for a fun start to the year.😁😁

[@almacli8360]

Happy New Year Johnny - That was a great video good job ‼️ That looks like a lot of fun and I learned my first lesson of the year - thanks Dan for the tool loan 👈🏼

[@evilla410]

John Happy New year 2024, What a great start.

[@samfeldman1508]

The Demagnetizer is quite polarizing. 😜🤪. Seriously, great job and Happy New Year.

[@raphaelAS.95]

Feliz ano Novo! Um abraço aqui do Brasil!

[@jackthompson2132]

Happy New Year John! Now is that demagnetizer awesome or what! Can I send you all my screwdrivers so you can demagnetize mine 😂😂😂😂 Thank You for sharing it!

[@tonylenge424]

The rpm gage was really cool. Happy New Year

[@frankpattisr2250]

Always have to correct spell check.That was"Great video"Screw and nut driver company in Orchard Park NY

[@bwayne40004]

Wow! That demagnetizer was electrifying to see work! Actually, I thought it was pretty dern neat.

[@papa-hu8lq]

Happy New Year

[@goldpan12345]

So cool, both items are fascinating.

[@joeflores9496]

Great episode for the New Year 🎉

[@alexstools]

My farther remembers his grandfather's bycicle shop having live wire hanging on the ceiling. My great-grandfather would stick them together to turn on machines or lights. All live. He never got electrocuted neither did he burn down. Small wonder!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Here in the states we use 110 volts and some old time electricians would get zapped and laugh it off. My buddy who works on commercial electrical said that when he works on 440 volts he’s super careful because the consequences are dire. 😂👍

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Way cool de magnetize device and rpm hand held tach thanks to Dan for sharing and happy New year everyone

[@John-ij4fo]

What a great video, great start to the New Year. Bobs you uncle!!!!

[@wireworks616]

Great video. Really nice tools. Happy New Year John.

I'm glad that all you hair is in place.

Happy New Year to you .

[@roadrageburleson]

Happy New year.

[@terryrogers1025]

I would like a kid in a candy store with that magnetizing/ demagnetizing. Just for grins, stick compass in and see what it does, told ya, kid in a candy store!!!! Thanks for the video sir.

[@starflash08]

love the magnatiser

[@tomdale1313]

thxs for sharing...How's Pipes doing?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Tom- He’s been sleeping and healing. Only getting up to eat, drink and poop. 😂👍

[@tomdale1313]

sounds familiar @@ScoutCrafter

[@OldSneelock]

I have had success with putting a screwdriver bit in a drill press and turning the chuck and screwdriver by hand while pressing down with the spindle. The peen can be drilled with the center drill until it is flush with the surface. That should remove all the metal that had been upset.

[@robertlevine2152]

ScoutCrafter, Vampliers, Engineer, and Knipex each make screw extraction pliers. While damage may be done to the screw, I believe it would be less than a locking pliers. Bob

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Bob- I have a pair of Vampliers, they are good but aren’t locking. 😃👍

[@heyboy33333]

I'm glad to see the skeptical dog made it to 2024!

[@setdown2]

That good ole technology it was a starting point...now you can do the same thing with a type magnet with a hole in it to magnetize and de-magnetize that screwdriver forget what its called...🖖

[@carldelawter8900]

Great video, John! Verrrrrry inTEResting! Query? Why didn't you get shocked by touching the metal slide?? 🤔 Your like a kid in a toy store! Fun, fun, fun until he takes the toys back.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I have no idea how the slide isn’t energized! 🤔😂👍

[@steve.b.23]

Happy new year, sir! Another one down the pan! Hopefully this one will be better than the last. Although I've been saying that for at least the last 20 years and... well... here we are. 🙄 How is Pipes doing?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Steve- Pipes is resting and healing. He sleeps and gets up 4 times a day to eat, drink and poop! 😂👍

[@Mr2Xri]

Hello, Hello John, do you know where can I find an old used RPM Indicator like this you show? There was any good brand back in this time? I stayed speechless about the simplisity of this tool that will work forever instead of all these electronics that will fail at some point.

[@ROD59]

First video of the year

[@rgaborjr]

No lantern light off for NYE this year?

[@michaelswindle2414]

If you take a new roll of #12solid THHN wire and hook each end to a switched test cord plugged into 120 volts not only will it magnetize your screw driver it will suck it out of your hand when you hit the switch.

[@timeflysintheshop]

Eagle grips would have grabbed the head of thet screw!

[@mhein681]

Kinda off question... I just discovered Tom Gunn... What happened no new videos???

[@ScoutCrafter]

We are all asking the same question! 🤔

[@kendion4597]

Why didn't u just heat it up?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Heat up the screw? I tried heat but it wasn’t budging.

[@binnsbrian]

I had a magnet coil thing that you waved over a video or audio tapes the erased any content on the tapes. Would that work the same for your screwdrivers. It looked like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJCqmWd8qpySfZosi=SJhAegD4XLaxqWTn&t=1221 Happy New Year

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! My Dad had one! 😃👍
